Manage Your Soviet Republic in a City-Building Simulator

Take control of every aspect of your Soviet republic in this immersive city-building simulator. With a planned economy, you manage resource extraction, production, and services. Utilize your power to influence the lives and loyalty of your citizens. The availability, accessibility, and quality of goods and services across construction, transportation, trade, healthcare, education, entertainment, tourism, and countless other facets of a thriving city depend on your decisions. In a realistic global economy, you will need to find fertile land, mineral deposits, and habitable areas to build your nation. Let the praises of your leadership echo from every radio, as citizens take pride in their glorious Soviet republic!

Complex Simulation Mechanics

In Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, your cities come to life. Prices for goods on the global market, as well as the distribution of electricity, water, and heating in winter, hinge on your wise choices. Adjust game settings to suit your preferred difficulty level, allowing urban planners, economists, and builders to focus on their favorite mechanics.

Trade Between East and West

Manage your nation’s economy using both rubles and dollars, striking a balance between Eastern and Western markets. Trade with countries on both sides of the Iron Curtain to gain valuable currency, resources, and technologies. Despite being a planned economy, your state isn't bound to either block, allowing you to pursue trade with both for your own benefit. Align with one side, and you may saturate the market with your goods, reducing profitability, while cutting off trade with the other could deprive you of essential technologies.

Realistic Supply Chain Management

Delve into intricate supply chain management: acquire, produce, and transport over 30 different goods. Raw materials, processed items, and waste require designated storage locations, special vehicles for transportation, and specific facilities for loading and unloading. Liquids and gases are stored in tanks, transported via pipes and pumps, or in tankers. Raw ore is stored in bulk warehouses and moved through conveyors, while processed goods are transported in covered trucks and railcars, stored in warehouses. Organize short-distance transport with loaders, construct complex conveyor systems to reduce dependency on transport, or move goods between cities via rail. Effective supply chain management is crucial for the success of your state. Utilize freight trains, transport planes, and helicopters to keep everything running smoothly.

Build From the Ground Up

Every road, bridge, residential building, or factory is constructed from scratch, with material costs reflecting the scale of your projects. Purchase raw materials at market prices to quickly build structures using foreign labor, or establish construction firms to provide jobs for your citizens and use local resources. Building materials may include prefabricated panels, steel beams, gravel, concrete, and more. Choose between self-sufficiency and rapid growth through international trade.

Citizens: The Heart of Your State

Your nation relies on its people, who smelt metal, weave fabrics, bake bread, and operate heavy machinery that drives your industry. The happiness and loyalty of your citizens are essential for your success.

Monitor your citizens from birth to death, ensuring they have essential goods like food and clothing (and of course, alcohol), as well as education and job opportunities. Be wary of those whose loyalty is in question; their criminal tendencies and reduced productivity may negatively impact your metrics. Limit their access to opportunities where they could do more harm than good. Keep track of overall satisfaction and loyalty levels to prevent defection—provide them with a better life or rely on propaganda for maximum returns.

Satisfy Your Residents’ Needs

Meet your residents' demands by importing goods from neighboring states or producing locally through complex manufacturing chains. Grow grains on vast fields to be processed into bread and spirits at food factories and distilleries. Clothing factories operate while they have fabric, which is made from crops, chemicals, and water at textile plants. Produce or acquire any type of goods, from basic necessities to luxuries like radios and televisions, and transport them from factories to stores, ensuring your citizens can purchase them.

Essential Services and Infrastructure

Residents require access to essential services like electricity, water, and heating for survival, all of which demand their own supply chains. Track seasonal demand fluctuations and prepare for harsh winters to prevent sudden population declines. Education is provided through primary, secondary, and higher institutions; the higher the education level, the more employment opportunities for citizens. Access to new technologies and manufacturing capabilities increases as your nation develops. Cultural and entertainment options are offered by local parks, theaters, and radio and television stations, while swimming pools and sports fields cater to physical well-being. Ensuring the availability of these services is crucial for the health and prosperity of your nation.

Transportation Networks

Managing transportation systems is key to keeping your republic healthy. As your population spreads and cities develop around resource hubs scattered across a vast map, continuously expand your transportation network to meet growing demands.

Public transport options—buses, trams, trains, subways, ships, and planes—allow citizens to travel farther, accessing remote stores or delivering experts to distant factories and mines. Organize interconnected systems to facilitate movement across these expansive territories, employing even cable cars and winding rural roads to bring life to the most remote corners of your republic.

Advanced Transport Options

Trucks, trains, transport planes, and cargo ships are essential for moving resources over long distances. Different subcategories of each vehicle determine what types of cargo they can carry. Limited access to certain vehicles may compel you to explore alternative transport methods, or perhaps you'll establish connections with customs to trade with foreign nations.

Build airports, plan railway junctions, and design complex transfer stations to ensure your transport networks meet your needs. Road signs influence speed limits and vehicle access; the length of runways dictates which aircraft can land, while rail stations can be built for passengers or freight, incorporating fuel pumps, conveyors, and elevators into existing supply chains.

Personal Vehicles and Traffic Management

Allow citizens to purchase personal vehicles, but restrict access to those with higher education or proven loyalty to the party, preventing the chaos of unrestricted movement and traffic jams. By carefully planning your infrastructure and transport network, you can maintain complete control over the movement of workers and resources!

Modding Community

Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic features dedicated tools for modifications in the Steam Workshop, along with a wealth of player-created mods. Customize your game with new buildings and vehicles to construct the Soviet republic of your dreams!
